Wedding presents?

I am photographing the wedding of a friend and I'm having a brain freeze on what supposed to do. She he likes his informal approach and the wedding will be out in the backyard of his parents. Its courtyard is lined with wood and have a brick patio (where the actual ceremony will take place) and also have a source of fresh water and plenty of beautiful gardens and flowers. Any suggestions would be helpful as well such as websites and take a look a. Thank you!

What time of day is the wedding? If the evening after the lighting is better than midday or afternoon. Are you a film or digital? The film has more latitude. With digital, you run the risk of "blowing the highlights," or with no detail in bright areas. (As a white dress, for example.) If you are not comfortable with manual settings, use the Program mode and adjust the exposure comp until there Winky-blinkys. Take a test shot or two, then check the histogram. You want fairly even distribution light levels. If they are all bunched to the left is too dark. If spilled on the right, who have blown highlights. Adjust the exposure when necessary. Best, you will have bright cloudy medium. Perfect for portraits. Worst case, the bright sun and shade spots. You will probably have established a bow or something in actual votes are conducted. If you are in sunlight, using a flash at high output and the shutter speed faster than synchronized. Fill flash which opens the shadow under the eye sockets and nose, and balance the light between the subject and background. They also eat batteries like some spare parts on hand. For his portraits, try to use a wide aperture, or use the portrait mode on your camera. Find a nice, open shade if possible. Spotted sunlight is not your friend! So either shade or sun are all not part of each. Do not switch their themes in the sun, (unless the sun is low in the sky) that will make them squint. Convert at an angle to the sun, the sun on one side or behind, if not too low. Using the flash, again, to open the shadows. Open shade is good, too. In the shade, you can try some with no flash, and some flash compensation set at least begin with half as much and try a little lower than -1 or maybe -1.5. When present, their bodies turn into a camera angle. Your themes should always have a front and back of the shoulder, not a right and left. If it bends, bend it. Do not let the boys line up as prisoners with their hands in front of his crotch! (My pet peeve!) In making groups try to work at odd couples. The B & G always placed together, usually in front or slightly higher than the rest of the group. Hands in the pockets of the boys find. The girls, girlfriend, well, will tend to keep your flowers too high. They are smaller than the branch at waist level or even at his side at the hip. Make sure the item is due to the back. Pay attention to its composition. Make your shots or full body, 3 / 4, or near. Do not cut your feet or fingers. Watch for trees or poles growing etc etc in people's heads. Be careful in the use of wide angle pictures in the foreground. Portraits are best with moderate telephoto, say about 80mm to 150 .. Do not forget to leave some space for an 8×10 crop. Visit websites of a professional wedding photographer to see what poses you can try to duplicate. It's a little late for a lot of practice posing, but you can get some ideas. Cheat sheets if needed to. Google Marc Williams, Bambi Cantrell, Jeff Ascough to start. I hope all goes well tomorrow and your friendship survives the event. The wedding photography is not really for the faint of heart photographers and amateur. Make sure the bride's expectations are commensurate with their level of skill to avoid disappointment. Best wishes and good luck!
